AI Analysis – Experimental

The proposed legislation seeks to repeal two specific acts: the 1947 PA 261 and the 1879 PA 154. The 1947 PA 261, which is codified under MCL 45.451 to 45.457, authorized the board of supervisors in Wayne and Oakland counties to determine the compensation and define the powers and duties of certain county officers and employees, as well as to manage the deposit of funds by county officers with the county treasurer. The repeal of this act would remove these provisions. Additionally, the bill repeals the 1879 PA 154, codified under MCL 45.421, which also pertains to county governance.
